Some people requested I post these comments on the Press Secretary denying that it mattered that Trump had spread fake news in the form of discredited Islamaphobic videos.

It DOES matter. Truth matters, as does our commitment to it. Rationality matters. I'm terrified of what is being done to our ability to think, to discuss, to reason and persuade - the foundation for all of our political activity. Its being degraded in a way that we might not be able to recover from.

If that happens, progress will be impossible. And while the right wing is the principle threat, we need to be vigilant for sloppy thinking, whataboutism, and other forms of intellectual decay in our own ranks as well.

This video is just the first on a topic which will become an ongoing struggle I intend to engage in. I hope you're with me.
